5 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [XX XXX 2000]
7 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
8 was larger than the MD block size.
9 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
11 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
12 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
13 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
14 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
18 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
19 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
20 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
22 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
24 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
26 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
27 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
28 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
29 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
30 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
31 Additional arguments are always ignored.
33 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
34 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
36 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
37 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
40 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
43 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
44 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
46 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
47 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
48 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
49 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
52 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
53 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
54 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
55 does not suppress any output.
58 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
59 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
60 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
61 with all the associated security issues.
63 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
64 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
65 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
66 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
67 use the value in the default purpose.
70 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
71 and fix a memory leak.
74 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
75 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
76 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
77 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
80 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
81 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
82 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
83 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
86 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
87 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
88 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
91 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
92 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
95 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
96 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
100 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
101 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
104 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
105 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
106 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
109 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
110 number generation fails.
113 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
116 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
117 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
119 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
122 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
123 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
125 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
126 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
128 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
130 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
131 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
134 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
135 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
137 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
138 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
141 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
142 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
143 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
144 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
145 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
146 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
148 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
149 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
150 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
154 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
155 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
156 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
157 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
158 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
159 counter, some don't.)
160 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
161 counters or duplicate objects.
164 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
165 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
168 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
169 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
170 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
172 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
173 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
174 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
178 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
179 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
182 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
183 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
184 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
188 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
189 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
190 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
193 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
194 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
195 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
196 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
197 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
198 should work without changes.
201 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
202 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
203 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
204 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
205 must be defined. E.g.,
206 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
207 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
208 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
209 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
211 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
215 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
216 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
217 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
220 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
221 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
222 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
223 request header lines. Some software needs this.
226 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
227 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
228 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
229 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
230 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
231 is prompted for as usual.
234 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
235 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
236 autodetect the card and use it if present.
237 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
239 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
240 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
241 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
242 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
245 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
248 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
252 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
255 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
258 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
262 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
265 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
268 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
269 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
272 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
273 options to produce them.
276 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
277 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
280 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
284 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
285 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
286 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
287 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
288 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
289 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
290 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
293 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
296 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
297 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
298 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
301 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
302 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
304 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
305 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
308 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
309 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
310 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
314 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
315 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
317 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
318 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
319 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
320 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
321 generation becomes much faster.
323 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
324 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
325 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
326 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
327 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
328 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
329 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
330 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
331 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
332 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
335 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
336 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
337 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
338 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
339 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
340 trial division stage.
343 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
347 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
350 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
353 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
354 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
355 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
359 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
360 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
361 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
364 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
365 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
366 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
367 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
369 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
370 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
373 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
376 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
377 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
378 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
379 Rabin-Miller iterations.
382 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
383 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
384 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
387 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
388 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
389 (instead of parameters) in future.
392 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
393 when a new cipher list is set.
396 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
397 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
400 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
401 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
402 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
404 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
405 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
406 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
409 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
410 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
411 the readability was also increased :-)
412 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
414 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
415 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
416 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
417 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
421 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
422 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
425 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
426 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
427 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
428 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
431 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
432 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
433 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
434 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
435 because they handle more complex structures.)
438 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
439 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
441 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
443 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
444 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
445 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
446 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
447 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
448 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
449 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
452 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
453 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
454 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
455 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
456 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
459 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
462 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
463 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
464 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
465 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
466 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
469 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
473 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
474 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
475 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
476 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
479 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
482 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
483 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
484 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
485 international characters are used.
487 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
488 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
489 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
493 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
494 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
495 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
498 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
499 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
500 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
501 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
502 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
503 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
505 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
506 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
507 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
508 be handled by the string table functions.
510 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
511 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
512 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
513 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
514 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
518 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
519 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
520 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
521 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
522 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
524 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
525 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
526 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
527 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
530 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
531 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
532 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
533 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
534 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
538 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
539 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
540 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
541 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
542 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
543 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
544 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
545 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
547 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
548 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
549 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
552 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
553 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
554 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
555 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
556 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
557 support to pkcs8 application.
560 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
561 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
562 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
563 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
564 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
565 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
568 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
569 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
570 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
571 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
572 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
576 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
577 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
578 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
579 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
583 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
584 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
585 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
586 and any application specific purposes.
588 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
589 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
590 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
591 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
592 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
593 if the certificate is self signed.
596 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
597 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
600 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
601 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
602 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
603 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
606 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
607 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
608 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
609 Update documentation.
612 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
613 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
614 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
615 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
616 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
619 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
621 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
623 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
624 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
625 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
626 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
627 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
628 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
629 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
630 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
631 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
632 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
634 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
636 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
637 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
638 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
639 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
640 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
642 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
643 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
644 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
645 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
646 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
647 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
648 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
649 request additional information:
650 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
651 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
653 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
654 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
655 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
658 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
659 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
665 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
666 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
668 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
669 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
670 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
674 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
675 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
676 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
678 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
679 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
680 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
681 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
682 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
686 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
687 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
688 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
689 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
690 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
691 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
694 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
698 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
699 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
700 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
701 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
702 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
706 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
710 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
711 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
712 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
713 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
714 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
715 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
716 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
717 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
718 be maintained manually.
720 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
721 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
722 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
723 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
724 work because people forget to call this function]
725 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
726 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
727 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
730 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
731 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
732 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
733 should be discouraged from doing it.
736 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
737 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
738 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
739 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
740 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
741 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
744 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
745 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
746 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
748 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
749 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
750 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
752 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
753 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
754 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
755 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
756 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
757 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
759 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
760 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
761 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
763 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
764 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
767 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
768 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
769 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
770 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
773 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
776 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
777 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
778 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
779 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
780 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
781 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
782 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
783 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
784 keys so we should be OK.
786 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
787 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
788 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
789 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
790 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
791 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
792 stay in the name of compatibility.
794 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
795 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
796 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
798 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
799 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
800 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
801 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
802 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
803 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
807 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
808 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
809 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
810 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
811 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
812 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
813 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
814 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
815 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
816 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
817 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
818 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
819 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
822 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
825 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
826 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
827 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
828 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
829 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
830 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
831 single self signed certificate. This means that:
832 openssl verify ss.pem
833 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
834 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
838 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
839 (and add it to external session representation).
840 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
841 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
842 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
843 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
844 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
845 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
847 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
849 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
850 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
851 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
852 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
854 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
855 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
856 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
859 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
860 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
861 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
865 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
866 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
867 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
869 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
870 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
871 certificate auxiliary information.
874 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
878 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
879 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
880 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
881 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
882 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
883 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
884 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
887 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
888 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
891 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
892 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
893 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
894 manpages and fix a few bugs.
897 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
900 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
901 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
904 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
905 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
906 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
907 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
908 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
909 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
910 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
911 using the new 'x509' options.
913 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
914 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
915 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
916 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
920 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
921 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
922 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
923 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
924 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
927 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
928 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
929 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
930 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
931 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
932 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
933 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
934 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
935 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
936 the key length and effective key length are equal.
939 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
940 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
941 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
942 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
943 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
944 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
945 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
948 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
949 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
950 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
951 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
952 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
953 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
954 openssl.cnf for more info.
957 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
958 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
959 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
960 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
961 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
962 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
963 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
964 md should be large enough anyway.
967 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
968 for handling the random seed file.
970 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
972 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
976 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
977 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
978 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
980 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
981 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
982 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
983 that support '-rand'.
986 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
987 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
990 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
991 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
994 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
995 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
996 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
997 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
1001 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
1002 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
1003 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
1004 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
1007 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
1008 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
1009 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
1010 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
1011 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
1012 print out all the purposes.
1015 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
1019 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
1020 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
1021 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
1022 single function call.
1025 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
1026 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
1029 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
1030 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
1031 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
1034 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
1035 when producing the local key id.
1036 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
1038 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
1039 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
1040 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
1044 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
1045 a public key to be input or output. For example:
1046 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
1047 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
1050 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
1051 in the message. This was handled by allowing
1052 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
1053 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
1055 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
1056 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
1057 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
1058 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
1060 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
1061 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
1062 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
1063 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
1064 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
1065 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
1066 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
1067 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
1068 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
1069 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
1070 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
1071 trivial: move one line.
1072 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
1074 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
1075 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
1076 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
1077 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
1078 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
1079 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
1080 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
1081 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
1082 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
1083 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
1084 with an event loop for example.
1087 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
1088 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
1089 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
1090 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
1091 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
1092 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
1093 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
1094 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
1095 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
1098 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
1099 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
1100 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
1101 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
1102 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
1103 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
1106 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
1107 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
1108 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
1109 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
1111 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
1112 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
1113 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
1114 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
1118 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
1119 (still largely untested)
1122 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
1123 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
1126 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
1127 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
1130 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
1131 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
1132 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
1135 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
1136 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
1137 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
1138 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
1139 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
1142 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
1145 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
1146 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
1147 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
1148 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
1149 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
1153 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
1154 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
1157 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
1160 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
1161 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
1162 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
1163 are otherwise ignored at present.
1166 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
1167 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
1168 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
1169 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
1170 copied until the next read.
1173 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
1174 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
1175 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
1178 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
1179 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
1180 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
1181 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
1182 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
1183 associated functions.
1186 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
1187 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
1188 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
1189 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
1190 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
1191 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
1192 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
1193 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
1194 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
1198 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
1199 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
1200 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
1201 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
1204 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
1205 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
1206 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
1207 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
1208 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
1212 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
1213 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
1217 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
1218 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
1219 extensions to be obtained and added.
1222 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
1223 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
1226 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
1228 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
1229 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1231 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
1232 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
1234 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
1238 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
1239 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
1240 DH parameters contain its length).
1242 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
1243 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
1244 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
1245 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
1246 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
1247 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
1248 utter importance to use
1249 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
1251 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
1252 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
1253 attacks may become possible!
1256 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
1259 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
1260 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
1263 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
1264 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
1265 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
1269 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
1270 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
1271 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
1272 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
1273 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
1274 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
1275 private key operations.
1278 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
1281 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
1282 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
1284 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
1285 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
1286 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
1287 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
1288 the password callback is called.
1289 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
1291 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
1293 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
1294 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
1295 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
1296 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
1297 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
1298 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
1301 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
1302 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
1303 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
1304 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
1305 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
1306 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
1309 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
1312 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
1313 delete an unused file.
1316 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
1317 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
1318 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
1319 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
1322 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
1323 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
1324 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
1328 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
1329 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
1330 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
1332 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
1333 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
1334 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
1335 comparison" warnings.
1336 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
1339 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
1340 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
1341 derived keys are printed to stderr.
1344 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
1345 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
1347 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
1348 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
1350 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
1351 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
1352 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
1354 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
1355 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
1356 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
1357 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
1358 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
1360 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
1362 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
1363 The interface is as follows:
1364 Applications can use
1365 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
1366 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
1367 "off" is now the default.
1368 The library internally uses
1369 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
1370 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
1371 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
1373 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
1374 even the default) are now avoided.
1376 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
1377 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
1378 than just having a counter.
1380 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
1382 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
1386 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
1387 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
1388 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
1389 Initial "mode" flags are:
1391 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
1392 a single record has been written.
1393 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
1394 retries use the same buffer location.
1395 (But all of the contents must be
1399 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_mode ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_mode
1402 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
1403 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
1405 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
1406 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
1407 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
1410 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
1411 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
1413 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
1415 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
1416 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
1417 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
1418 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
1420 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
1421 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
1423 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
1424 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
1425 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
1426 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
1427 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
1428 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
1431 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
1432 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
1433 necessary function names.
1436 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
1437 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
1438 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
1439 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
1442 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
1443 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
1444 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
1447 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
1448 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
1449 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
1450 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
1452 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
1456 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
1457 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
1458 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
1461 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
1462 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
1466 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
1467 for the encoded length.
1468 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
1470 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
1473 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
1474 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
1475 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
1476 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
1479 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
1480 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
1481 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1483 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
1484 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
1485 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
1489 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
1490 to use the new extension code.
1493 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
1494 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
1495 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
1499 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
1500 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
1501 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
1505 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
1508 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
1509 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
1510 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
1513 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
1514 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
1515 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
1516 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
1519 *) DES library cleanups.
1522 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
1523 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
1524 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
1525 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
1526 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
1530 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
1531 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
1534 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
1535 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
1536 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
1537 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
1538 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
1539 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
1540 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
1541 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
1542 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
1545 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
1546 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
1547 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
1548 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
1549 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
1550 value doesn't matter.
1553 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
1557 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
1558 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
1559 "linux-sparc" configuration.
1560 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
1562 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
1565 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
1566 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
1567 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
1569 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
1570 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
1572 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
1575 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
1578 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
1581 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
1585 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
1587 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
1589 *) Updated some demos.
1590 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
1592 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
1595 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
1598 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
1601 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
1602 instead of using a fixed path.
1605 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
1608 *) Improvements for VMS support.
1612 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
1614 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
1615 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
1616 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
1618 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
1619 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
1620 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
1621 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
1622 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
1623 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
1624 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
1625 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
1626 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
1627 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
1630 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
1631 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
1634 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
1635 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
1636 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
1637 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
1638 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
1640 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
1643 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
1644 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
1645 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
1648 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
1651 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
1652 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
1653 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
1654 key elements as negative integers.
1657 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
1658 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
1661 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
1663 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
1664 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
1665 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
1668 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
1669 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
1670 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
1671 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
1672 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
1675 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
1678 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
1679 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
1680 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
1681 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1683 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
1684 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
1685 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
1687 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
1688 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
1689 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
1690 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
1691 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
1692 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
1693 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
1694 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
1695 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
1697 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
1698 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
1699 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
1700 does not influence s as it used to.
1702 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
1703 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
1704 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
1705 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
1706 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
1707 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
1710 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
1711 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
1712 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
1716 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
1717 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
1718 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
1722 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
1723 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
1724 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
1728 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
1729 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
1732 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
1733 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
1738 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
1739 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
1741 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
1742 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
1744 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
1747 *) Update HPUX configuration.
1750 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
1751 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1753 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
1754 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
1755 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
1759 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
1760 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
1761 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
1762 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
1763 now it really counts the depth.
1766 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
1767 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
1768 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
1769 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
1770 didn't match the private key).
1772 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
1773 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
1774 connection using the SSL_CTX).
1777 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
1780 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
1784 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
1785 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
1786 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
1789 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
1792 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
1793 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
1794 such as /usr/local/bin.
1797 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
1798 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
1800 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
1803 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
1804 extension adding in x509 utility.
1807 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
1810 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
1814 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
1817 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
1818 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
1819 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
1820 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
1821 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
1822 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
1823 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
1824 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
1825 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
1826 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
1829 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
1832 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
1833 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
1836 *) Fix some race conditions.
1839 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
1840 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
1843 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
1846 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
1847 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
1848 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
1849 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
1851 *) Fix lots of warnings.
1852 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
1854 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
1855 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
1856 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
1858 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
1859 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
1861 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
1864 *) Fix typos in error codes.
1865 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
1867 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
1870 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
1871 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
1873 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
1874 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
1877 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
1878 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
1881 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
1882 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
1885 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
1886 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
1889 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
1890 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
1893 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
1894 support typesafe stack.
1897 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
1898 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
1900 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
1901 old X509V3 handling code.
1904 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
1907 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
1910 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
1913 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
1914 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
1916 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
1917 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
1918 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
1919 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
1920 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
1923 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
1924 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
1925 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
1926 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
1927 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
1929 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
1930 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
1931 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
1932 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1934 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
1935 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
1936 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
1937 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1939 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
1940 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
1941 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
1942 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
1943 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
1944 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
1947 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
1948 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
1951 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
1952 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
1955 *) Tweaks to Configure
1956 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
1958 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
1962 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
1965 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
1966 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
1969 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
1970 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
1971 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
1974 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
1977 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
1978 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
1981 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
1982 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
1983 to library startup routines.
1986 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
1987 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
1988 codes along the way.
1991 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
1992 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
1993 objects to objects.h
1996 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
1997 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
2000 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
2001 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
2003 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
2004 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
2005 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
2007 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
2008 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
2009 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
2011 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
2012 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
2013 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
2016 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
2018 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
2019 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
2022 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
2023 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
2024 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
2025 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
2026 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
2028 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
2029 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
2030 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
2032 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
2034 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
2036 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
2038 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
2039 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
2041 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
2042 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
2043 if someone would make that last step automatic.
2044 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
2046 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
2049 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
2050 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
2051 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
2052 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
2055 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
2056 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
2057 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
2060 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
2061 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
2062 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
2063 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
2064 installed as `perl').
2065 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
2067 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
2068 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
2070 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
2071 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
2072 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
2073 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
2074 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
2077 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
2080 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
2081 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
2082 is horrible: I feel ill....
2085 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
2086 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
2087 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
2088 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
2091 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
2092 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2094 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
2095 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
2096 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
2097 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2099 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
2100 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
2101 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
2102 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
2103 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
2104 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
2106 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2108 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
2109 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
2111 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
2112 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
2114 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
2117 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
2118 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
2122 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
2123 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
2124 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
2125 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
2126 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
2127 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
2128 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
2129 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
2130 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
2131 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
2132 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2134 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
2137 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
2138 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
2139 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
2140 for linking it into DSOs.
2141 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2143 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
2147 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
2148 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
2149 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
2150 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
2151 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
2152 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2154 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
2155 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
2156 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
2157 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
2158 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
2159 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
2160 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2162 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
2163 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
2164 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
2168 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
2169 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
2170 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
2171 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
2174 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
2175 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
2176 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
2177 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
2178 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
2182 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
2183 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
2184 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
2185 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
2186 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2188 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
2189 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
2190 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
2192 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
2193 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
2195 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
2196 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
2197 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
2198 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
2199 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
2202 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
2203 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
2204 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
2205 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
2206 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
2207 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
2208 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
2211 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
2213 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
2214 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
2217 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
2218 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
2220 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
2221 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
2224 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
2225 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
2226 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
2227 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
2228 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
2230 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
2231 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
2232 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
2233 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
2234 no way to reconfigure them.
2235 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
2236 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
2237 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
2238 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
2239 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
2240 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2242 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
2243 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
2244 recognized by the users.
2245 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2247 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
2248 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
2249 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
2250 already masked variable.
2251 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
2253 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
2254 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
2256 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
2257 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
2258 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
2259 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
2261 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
2262 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
2263 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2265 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
2266 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
2267 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
2268 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
2269 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
2270 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
2271 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
2272 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
2274 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2276 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
2277 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
2278 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2280 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
2281 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
2285 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
2286 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
2288 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
2289 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
2290 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
2291 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
2294 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
2297 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
2298 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
2300 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
2303 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
2304 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
2307 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
2308 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
2311 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
2312 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
2313 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
2314 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
2315 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
2316 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
2317 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
2320 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
2321 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
2323 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
2324 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
2325 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
2326 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
2327 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
2329 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
2330 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
2331 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
2334 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
2335 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
2339 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
2340 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
2341 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
2343 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
2344 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
2345 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
2349 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
2350 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
2351 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
2352 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
2355 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
2356 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
2357 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
2358 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
2361 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
2362 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
2363 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
2364 so it wasn't spotted.
2365 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
2367 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
2368 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
2369 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
2370 vectors if you have them.
2373 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
2374 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
2377 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
2378 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
2379 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
2380 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
2382 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
2383 it will update them.
2386 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
2387 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
2388 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
2389 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
2390 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
2391 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
2392 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
2393 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2395 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
2396 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
2397 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
2398 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
2399 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
2400 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
2401 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
2402 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
2403 the crypto/md/ stuff).
2404 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2406 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
2407 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
2408 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
2409 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
2410 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
2413 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
2417 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
2418 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
2420 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
2421 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
2423 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
2424 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
2427 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
2428 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
2430 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
2431 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
2433 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
2436 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
2440 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
2441 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
2442 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
2443 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
2445 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
2448 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
2451 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
2454 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
2455 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
2458 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
2459 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
2463 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
2464 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
2467 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
2468 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
2469 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
2472 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
2473 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
2474 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
2475 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
2476 properly to be processed.
2479 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
2480 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
2481 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
2484 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
2485 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
2487 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
2488 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
2489 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
2490 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
2491 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
2492 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
2493 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
2494 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
2495 or delete all the .err files.
2498 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
2499 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
2500 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
2501 to regenerate it if needed.
2502 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
2503 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
2505 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
2506 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
2508 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
2509 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
2510 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
2511 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
2512 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
2515 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
2516 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
2518 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
2519 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
2521 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
2522 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
2523 error, but didn't set one).
2524 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
2526 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
2529 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
2530 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
2533 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
2534 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
2536 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
2537 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
2538 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
2539 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
2540 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
2541 OID is not part of the table.
2544 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
2545 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
2548 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
2551 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
2552 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
2556 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
2557 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
2559 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
2561 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
2563 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
2564 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
2566 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
2567 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
2569 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
2570 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
2572 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
2573 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
2576 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
2577 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
2580 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
2581 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2583 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
2584 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2586 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
2587 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2589 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
2590 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2592 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
2593 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
2594 unused in the certificate verification process.
2595 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2597 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
2598 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
2601 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
2602 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
2603 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
2605 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
2606 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
2607 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
2608 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
2609 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
2611 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
2612 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
2615 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
2618 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
2621 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
2622 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
2624 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
2627 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
2630 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
2633 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
2634 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
2635 other error libraries.
2638 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
2641 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
2642 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
2646 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
2647 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
2648 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
2649 the new set of documenation files.
2650 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2652 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
2653 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
2654 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
2655 number of arguments.
2656 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
2658 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
2661 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
2662 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
2663 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
2665 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
2668 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
2672 unixware-2.0-pentium
2676 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
2677 before they are needed.
2680 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
2684 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
2686 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
2687 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
2688 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2690 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
2693 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
2694 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
2695 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2697 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
2698 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
2699 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
2701 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
2702 when "ssleay" is still not found.
2703 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2705 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
2706 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
2708 *) Updated the README file.
2709 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2711 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
2712 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
2713 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2715 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
2716 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
2717 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2719 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
2720 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
2721 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
2722 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
2723 o removed obsolete TODO file
2724 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
2725 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2727 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
2728 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
2729 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
2730 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f

2732 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
2733 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2735 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
2738 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
2739 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
2740 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
2742 [The OpenSSL Project]
2745 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
2747 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
2750 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
2753 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
2754 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
2757 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
2758 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
2762 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
2764 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
2766 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
2769 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
2772 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
2775 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
2778 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
2781 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
2784 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
2787 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
2790 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
2793 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
2796 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
2799 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
2802 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
2805 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
2808 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
2811 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
2814 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
2817 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
2818 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
2819 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2822 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
2823 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
2826 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
2829 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
2832 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
2833 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
2836 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
2839 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
2842 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
2843 bytes sent in the client random.
